We are proud to announce the Regional Winners of this year’s Syngenta Growth Awards.

The Syngenta Growth Awards recognise leading growers and farm advisers from different regions across Australia and New Zealand, showcasing their contribution to the industry.

There are 23 Regional Winners, selected from a list of impressive nominations, 4 of which are from New Zealand. All Regional Winners are now placed as finalists in the Competition. The final round of judging takes place in late 2023 from which the Winners are offered a place on the Growth Awards International Study Tour. Joining a prestigious alumnus of previous winners, there will be regular opportunities to connect and participate in a series of business sessions on topics such as agtech advancements and sustainable farming.

Since its inception in 2014, the programme has offered awards in Innovator, Productivity, Sustainability, and Community & People categories. 

The Growth Awards support the goals of Syngenta’s Good Growth Plan, which addresses the challenges of producing more with less, protecting the viability of farmland and promoting prosperous rural communities. Syngenta’s commitments to enhancing biodiversity, improving soil health, and helping people stay safe and healthy are underpinned by an investment of $2 billion towards sustainable technology breakthroughs each year by 2025.
